I had a recipe years ago for cashew chicken. I think it came from a Rival Wok cookbook. It was small bites of chicken dipped in something and then rolled in chopped cashew nuts and deep fried in peanut oil for just a short (30-60 sec) time.

It made a great appetizer and I would now like to try it in a chicken
Caeser salad recipe, but can't remember the dip.

The dip was not flavored, no soy sauce, etc., and might have had corn starch in it.
